[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See I disagree. That's her voice. She's had it since the minute she came on screen. Yes it's got a strange accent and pitch but she has always sounded like that. Probably endearing to some and annoying to others. Maybe her dad doesn't mind? Frankly I would be pissed if my dad sat me down to talk to me about my voice. Like you can easily change that. [/quote]

Actually, my own dad did point it out when I lapsed into using "like" in high school, and I'm really grateful to him for doing this, and for insisting that I speak like an intelligent adult.  He would also playfully repeat my sentences back to me if I ended them on an up-tone/question, and again, while this was infuriating at the time, I'm grateful to him for making me aware of how ridiculous it is to speak like a little girl.  These are two things that ARE easy to fix, and it says a lot about this girl-woman's family that she is now 35 years old and speaks with the stupid little-girl affectations.  These are absolutely something she can fix, and I'm shocked no one has pointed them out to her: did you hear Landon when she went into her business meeting with Lockhart?  She sounded like a moron, and a good friend or her dad (I'm mentioning him because he was shown giving her life/business advice on the show) could have mentioned to her that speech and tone are very important in a business meeting, and that confident speech and a straight gaze (as opposed to "like...like...like" and simpering squints off into space) go a long way in ensuring that one is communicating an image of competence.  Clearly nobody ever practiced interview skills with Landon (or talking-like-a-big-girl skills).  It is NOT just "her voice", and the fact that she's so old and still speaks this way indicates that her friends/family infantilize her somewhat, I think.  Plus, she seems to have the self-awareness of a gnat.

I've really learned the meaning of "hate-watch" from this show/Landon, though. [/quote]

Yeah you are super invested in her voice. Your dad should talk to you about your long windedness on boring subjects. [/quote]
